On February 13, 2012, the sky was clear with temperatures lower than
normal. The awakening of the citizens of the "Rosario" neighborhood in
the municipality of Arroyo Naranjo of the Cuban capital, is stunning, as
the bakery and pastry shop in the town suddenly stopped working, leaving
no supply for the population. Alfredo one of the neighbors who lives
adjacent to the bakery, said, "It's possible it was the noise that I
felt at dawn, like a short circuit." The administrator, alias "Chiqui,"
explains that with the rainfall in the evening, the water leaking
through the roof because of the poor condition of the roof of masonry
caused a short circuit on a large-scale, as the oven and kneading
machine, the only ones on the premises, were seriously affected.
A nearby source, a worker in the place, commented that conditions were
bad and that what happened was not a surprise at all; it's true that the
ceiling was one of the causes, but the real one was a common water leak
within the room where the machines are working and this created a
constant humidity and where there is electricity, water is fatal. Those
responsible for reviewing the machinery, gave the news that electrical
wires from the oven and the motor of the mixer had burned and they were
taking them to the workshop to re-encase them and that could take a week
to 20 days.
Some other person murmured, "Then until they repair the engine there
won't be any bread!" and a great tumult was heard loudly from the crowd
of people, so whoever said it remains anonymous. After several hours,
the delegate arrives and explains that they were not going to run out of
bread, for he had already spoken to the manager of the central bakery
(who is responsible for meeting the demands of a bakery out of service)
and that they will supply the demand of the affected population until
they solve the problem in up to 20 days …
At 5:00 pm, the horses began arriving with carts full of plastic boxes
with bread — the journey from the bakery to the central bakery and
confectionery of "Rosario" is about 6 miles away — so they started from
6:00 pm until 8:00 pm to give bread to the population and all were
comfortable with the idea that this discomfort would be ended by the
time promised by the workers in the maintenance shop.
